One day workshops this Winter

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great week. I am excited to share my upcoming 2026 one-day virtual paint workshops with Dovercourt Recreation this winter. These are one off sessions, so they are a great option if you want to get creative without signing up for multiple classes. I have three workshops running between January and March, and I thought it would be helpful to list them all in one place for easy access to information and registration. Please feel free to share, and consider treating yourself or gifting a workshop to someone special!
